Consumer Description

TRUCK NORMALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, CRANKED IT OVER NO START. TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED, BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" AND THE "TRAC CONTROL" LIGHTS STAYED ON. TRIED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD VERY LITTLE POWER GETTING ON THE ON-RAMP. PUT THE FLASHERS ON TO PREVENT CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY @ 65 MPH FROM CRASHING INTO ME AND MY LIMPING TACOMA. THEY ALSO PUT THEIR FLASHERS ON TOO. VERY UNSAFE! LIMPED TOWARDS HOME ON SURFACE STREETS....1 HOUR DRIVE TOOK ME 2. SCANNED THE ERROR CODES AND P2440 AND P2442 CAME UP, SWITCHES STUCK OPEN IN THE #1 & #2 BANK. AFTER SPENDING $1470.54 FOR PARTS I MADE THE REPAIRS. LOOKED @ A CO-WORKERS 2008 TACOMA AND THIS BAD IDEA IS NOT ON HIS TACOMA.....HHHHHMMMM. HE,S JUST LUCKY I GUESS. PLEASE HELP.VERY UNSAFE DESIGN, VERY EXPENSIVE REMEDY
